Nick Griffin; The Man, The Myth, The errr..

Nicholas John Griffin was born 1st March 1959, in Hertfordshire, England. Nick joined The BNP in 1995 and took over from previous leader John Tyndall in 1999. He has tried to modernise the party and move it away from its racist and fascist roots. He always looks sharp in a suit and tries to be articulate. I have watched many interviews with Nick and feel that sometimes he doesn't actually get to put across any of the party's manifestos because he is always answering questions about race issues. However when he is asked a serious question he will usually not answer directly. He also spends a lot of time denying things he has said before; when he is quoted he denies it blatantly. He is also very contradictory, he will say one thing in one interview and then say something completely different in another, this could show his unprofessionalism. All in all I conclude that he is probably just trying his best with what he has been given and sometimes the things he says are misconstrued.
